The boys had "Mom's & Muffins" Day at preschool. It was so fun to see them excited about showing me things. Sepa took a nap and so I got to focus on the boys. I love to watch the boys grow and learn.

We celebrated Sepa's birthday. It was such a busy day I was lucky to get a shower - but not lucky enough to do my hair. . . .

Today is my baby's 2nd birthday. I cannot even begin to put in words how much I love this little boy. He brings so much joy to my life. I can't imagine our family without him.

Things I love about Sepa:

• his happy disposition
• the way he loves to wiggle his body - almost like he hears music all the time and just has to dance
• his pouty lip when he doesn't get what he wants
• the way he has become a part of our family - without and reservations or hesitation
• his many expressions that entertain me all day long
• the way he is totally a daddy's boy, but still has a special place for mommy
• his love for the gospel - he loves to be the one to say prayers and help with FHE
• his heart warming hugs and kisses
• how he climbs into bed with me early in the morning to cuddle
• his love for food - he's the only boy who eats anything I cook
• his love for his brothers - he loves to wrestle and play with them
• how he is such a helper to me - he is always there to help me sweep, get a diaper or throw something in the trash
• the way he acts as my little shadow, following me everywhere in the house
• the love and joy that just pours out when you are around him

This afternoon Kekoa said he was making some surprise for me. After about 15 minutes of him upstairs in the toy room he brought me my surprise. As I closed my eyes, he said, "Awww, Mom, you're going to love this!" And then he presented me with this "heart crown." Kekoa insisted I wear it the rest of the evening. So sweet. I dread the day I am no longer the queen of his heart.

The only picture I had this week was this blurry one that Kekoa took. So I thought I'd try to stylize it a little and make it look intentional. It's ok - I do like remembering how Ikaika would snuggle up with me. I will miss this phase of their childhood.
